Fork
falls when replacing chain, injuring mechanic's foot. |
In the mast chain
replacement work, a mechanic put himself in between the mast and the
operator's platform to inspect the upper part of the mast. But he lost his
balance and unwittingly grabbed the fork control lever, trying to support
him. The fork was actuated and went down all of sudden. He got his right
foot pinched and injured. |
